[Feature Request] Thunar Custom action selection order

This is a feature request for Thunar to remember the manual selection order when multiple files selected and a custom action is executed on these files using the %F variable. Basically the %F variable should have the files in the order in which they were manually selected in the file manager.

Use case: I am trying to select multiple image files of pages of a document and then combine them to a single pdf file using img2pdf in a the specific order of the pages of the document. Though I manually select the pages in the required order it seems the order in which the files appear in the %F is not same as the order in which the selection was done manually initially.

Hello and welcome.

Probably best to create a feature request here in the bug tracker to bring it to the developer's attention.
